Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ReefBeat at 2.6 against Smart Power Strip's 1.0. ReefBeat also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Smart Power Strip's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
